PS6 Memory and Storage Costs Could Exceed $680, Leaker Claims

gigazine.net (Japanese) —

A leaker claims the PlayStation 6's memory and storage components alone will cost over $680 (approximately 110,000 yen), suggesting a significantly higher retail price than the PS5 Pro's 137,980 yen. The leaker, Kepler_L2, previously estimated total manufacturing costs at $760 in March 2026, but revised this to $960 by June, citing rising component prices. Sony's president has stated the company does not intend to sell hardware at a significant loss. The cost increase is attributed to AI-driven demand causing memory and storage shortages, with Micron's CEO warning that shortages may persist beyond 2028. Sony has not officially confirmed PS6 specifications or pricing.
